The Loy Krathong Festival cruise is worth it. There are fireworks and water lanterns. The lady who brings the atmosphere is very good. The food is not the focus, haha

The food quality is very high. Don't pick up the food yourself. After placing your order, the waiter will deliver it directly to the dining table. I will recommend it to my friends.

The whole experience was great, Siri, our driver was so friendly and nice. He took many photos of us and we had so much fun. I would recommend to book this excursion while in Thailand. The elephants were treated very well, and I enjoyed our time together. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, I will never forget.
And also there were cute puppies!
